Brazil's 85-Meter Tree Sets a World Record

The lighting of Brazil's Bradesco Seguros Christmas Tree is one of Rio de Janeiro's largest events of the year. This year's floating Christmas tree edition, the 15th at the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, was inaugurated at the beginning of December in a colorful spectacle of lights and fireworks. The floating Christmas tree is lit every night until Epiphany on January 6.
